This document provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress made through the first 7 units, what is now known, and how this has influenced the choice of final project. The student plans to create a magazine/fanzine focused on the works of Edgar Wright, as the fanzine projects were most successful. The films of Edgar Wright are personally loved and the student wants to explore them in more depth. Influences include similar fanzines that focus on a single product in detail. The goal is for audiences to look more closely at the themes across Wright's films. The tone of the fanzine will try to match the mix of serious and comedic tone of Hot Fuzz, which will be a primary focus.
